Barcelona vs PSG LIVE: Champions League result and reaction as Kylian Mbappe brace completes comeback

The French side had been 27 games unbeaten since their 2-1 loss to AC Milan in the Champions League group stage but saw that streak ended by Barcelona in the first leg.

The Spanish side themselves are unbeaten in 13 games but PSG boss Luis Enrique is hoping to enact revenge tonight.

“After 27 games in which we hadn’t lost, this defeat came. That means we have to pick ourselves up and get ready to perform again. We have to accept the defeat and congratulate Barça. But tomorrow, we want to give our fans plenty to cheer about,” he said in his press conference on Monday.”

Brazil international Raphinha scored twice as Barcelona FC recorded a thrilling 3-2 Champions League quarter-final first leg victory over Paris Saint-Germain at Parc des Princes.

The former Leeds winger opened the scoring just before half-time, but PSG hit back with two goals in two minutes just after the break.

Ousmane Dembele equalised against his old club before Vitinha’s effort rocked the Spanish giants.

Luis Enrique’s Ligue 1 hosts hit the woodwork either side of Raphinha’s equaliser midway through the second period. And Andreas Christensen settled an engrossing encounter between two heavyweight clubs with a close-range header 13 minutes from time.

Elsewhere tonight, Borussia Dortmund will hope to overturn a one-goal deficit on home soil as they battle Atletico Madrid for a Champions League semi-final place.

The German side rallied to come within inches of snatching a draw in the Spanish capital last week, but Julian Brandt’s header struck the woodwork late on as the hosts clung on for a 2-1 win.

Dortmund survived the sending off of Karim Adeyemi to secure a weekend league win between the two legs, while Atletico came from behind to beat high-flying Girona.

The winner of this tie will take on either Barcelona or Paris Saint-Germain for a place in the final.

We’ve got team news dropping any minute now. Will there be any surprises in store?

It’s advantage Barcelona after the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie against Paris Saint-Germain, but if the history of this fixture is anything to go by, a second leg comeback on Tuesday can’t be ruled out (8pm, TNT Sports 1).

Football betting sites make Barca odds-on to qualify for the semi-finals after an impressive 3-2 win in Paris last week with a brace from the inspired Raphinha and a late Andreas Christensen goal settling matters in the Spaniards’ favour.

PSG have been pushed out to 3/1 in the Champions League odds to advance to the last four after an underwhelming first leg in which they looked defensively vulnerable, failing to protect a 2-1 lead given to them in the second half by goals from Ousmane Dembele and Vitinha.

Kylian Mbappe was kept remarkably quiet by Barca, receiving a 3/10 rating from French newspaper L’Equipe for his performance, and PSG coach Luis Enrique will hope for much better from his star man as he takes his current charges back to his old stomping ground.

Here’s a look at the betting preview for tonight’s game:

A fiery atmosphere from the Barcelona fans as they greet their team bus tonight:

Jude Bellingham has said that racism is such a massive problem in Spanish football that players have the horrible feeling of preparing for away games knowing they are going to face abuse.

The Real Madrid midfielder called on the footballing authorities to do more as he warned that the sport would miss a talent like Vinicius Junior if he walked away because of the culture of abuse.

Brazil winger Vinicius has been the recipient of 10 instances of racist abuse which have been reported to prosecutors by LaLiga and broke down in tears in a press conference last month as he said he was losing his desire to play while a Real Mallorca fan was seen making monkey gestures at Madrid’s Aurelien Tchouameni after he scored in Saturday’s win at the San Moix Stadium.

Bellingham said he is so accustomed to racism at Spanish grounds that he did not even notice as he detailed the extent of the problem.

He said: “I didn’t even know. I think in the games where we go away, in LaLiga especially, you almost get so used to it that, like I said, I wasn’t even aware of the incident. I think that’s a massive problem in itself.

“More has got to be done, whether it’s the punishment and how you react to it or how you move proactively to this kind of thing.”
